Strictly Come Dancing star Angela Scanlon cut a glum figure as she was seen for the first time since being reported to the police over a dangerous video.<\/p>\n
The Irish TV presenter, 39, was reported to cops earlier this week after a now-deleted video emerged of Angela hanging out of a car window and dancing.<\/p>\n
Angela was filmed by someone in the front of the car as she hung the top half of her body out of the back window, grooving and laughing without a seatbelt as the vehicle moved.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s kept a low profile since the controversy but was pictured on Wednesday (September 27) heading to rehearsals.<\/p>\n
Angela arrived at a North London studio in a denim jacket, leopard print trousers, and sunglasses, carrying her belongings in a big overnight bag.<\/p>\n
She was joined by her Strictly dance partner, Carlos Gu, who arrived just after separately with a bunch of flowers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Following the release of her video on social media, MailOnline reported that Angela apologised.<\/p>\n
Angela said: \u2018I made absolutely the wrong decision when I filmed this video. I was coming from rehearsals and was giddy with excitement.<\/p>\n
\u2018That\u2019s not an excuse, because what I did was stupid and I\u2019m sorry I let my excitement get the better of my judgement.\u2019<\/p>\n
A source also said: \u2018Angela thought she was having a laugh, playing up to being on Strictly.<\/p>\n
\u2018But leaning out of a moving car is incredibly dangerous and she should know better.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018Her place on Strictly won\u2019t be at threat but she\u2019ll be warned about her behaviour going forward.\u2019<\/p>\n
It was said that The One Show\u2019s host would get a \u2018ticking off\u2019 from Strictly bosses over the clip.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, she\u2019s been hard at work in training with pro Carlos, as her second performance will be a jive to Trouble by Shampoo.<\/p>\n
Angela\u2019s dancefloor debut saw her wow with an \u2018intense\u2019 tango to Prisoner by Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa.<\/p>\n
The Co Meath-born presenter, who hosts BBC Two\u2019s Your Home Made Perfect, dressed in a pink and red flowing gown with her ginger locks pulled back into a bun,\u00a0twirling her way to a score of 23 points.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the performance, judge Anton Du Beke said: \u2018The drama, the intense, the commitment was magnificent.\u2019<\/p>\n
He advised her to work on her posture and to take bigger backwards steps to help make her \u2018more marvellous\u2019.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, resident Mr Nasty Craig Revel Horwood told Angela he felt she lost some momentum in between the \u2018attack\u2019 moments, but that she has \u2018a lot of potential\u2019.<\/p>\n
Motsi Mabuse agreed and said she felt the performance was \u2018something special\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018You had that focus, that attack, that tension in your body, I think maybe even a little bit too much tension, that\u2019s why you couldn\u2019t soften it up,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, head judge Shirley Ballas predicted she would be \u2018quite a force to be reckoned with\u2019 if she continued to work on her framing.<\/p>\n
Asked how she felt after the performance, she told host Claudia Winkleman: \u2018I didn\u2019t headbutt Carlos which is a plus because it happened in rehearsals!\u2019<\/p>\n
Time will tell if Angela will survive the first dreaded dance-off of 2023\u2026<\/p>\n
